"I've seen enough," Joerger told reporters after the Kings' 121-115 loss to the LA Clippers on Friday night. "We're going to play small."

That means moving DeMarcus Cousins, who had 38 points and 13 rebounds, to center and surrounding him with smaller players. Kosta Koufos, who started at center on Friday, did not play in the second half vs. the Clippers.

"DeMarcus is going to play center. I don't know who else will play with him," Joerger said. "It just gives us more zip, more life, more experience. That's not any detriment to anyone else or what they've done."

The Kings had trailed at halftime by 26 points. He said the smaller lineup energized the team in the second half, and that's what he'll try moving forward.
